You can set the logging facility for the application to be syslog and
then setup syslog to remotely log to a remote syslog server. You could
then use something like Splunk to view those logs via a searchable web
interface.

For example, with Apache (see
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/sysadmin/2006/10/12/httpd-syslog.html)
you can set the ErrorLog directive like so...

ErrorLog syslog:local1

...which will send the logging to /var/log/messages (in most cases) and
if you have syslog setup to send logs to a remote log server (syslog as
well) you would see the log(s) there as well.
